function [x_lambda,rho,eta,data,X] = maxent(A,b,lambda,w,x0)
%MAXENT Maximum entropy regularization.
%
% [x_lambda,rho,eta] = maxent(A,b,lambda,w,x0)
%
% Maximum entropy regularization:
%    min { || A x - b ||^2 + lambda^2*x'*log(diag(w)*x) } ,
% where -x'*log(diag(w)*x) is the entropy of the solution x.
% If no weights w are specified, unit weights are used.
%
% If lambda is a vector, then x_lambda is a matrix such that
%    x_lambda = [x_lambda(1), x_lambda(2), ... ] .
%
% This routine uses a nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm with "soft"
% line search and a step-length control that insures a positive solution.
% If the starting vector x0 is not specified, then the default is
%    x0 = norm(b)/norm(A,1)*ones(n,1) .
